is this better than the 1st game?


Loved the first Amazing Spider-Man games I consider it be be the Arkham Coty of Spidey games but is this second one an improvement on the 1st reviews haven't took to kindly to it IGN gave it a 5.4?

I actually think the first one was better. The core gameplay is pretty much the same but they've taken some really strange choices. You are constantly fighting timers on the side activies to keep your hero level up. Everytime you do complete a side activity it loads a news segment, which is usually the same and inaccurate. There's also little point buying it on next gen as the graphics are fairly poor and would be more acceptable on a last gen system. Most of the negatives are more annoyances than game breakers so if you're willing to put up with them and enjoyed the first game you'll have fun. It might be worth waiting for it to come down or buy the cheaper PC version (although the port has issues of its own).
